LOVE Kombucha is a fermented beverage made with Green Tea tea, and pure mountain spring water bottled at the source in Monchique, the mountains of the Algarve. LOVE Kombucha is brewed and fermented with LOVE, on a 100 year old family farm in Lagoa.

The LOVE studio where LOVE Kombucha is fermented

LOVE Kombucha brings together ancient wisdom and modern day science to create a super healthy beverage. Originating in Manchuria, Kombucha has been used for over 2000 years as a health elixir by the Chinese.

LOVE Kombucha is created by following the principles of Dr. Masaru Emoto to ensure the best environment and vibrational frequency is maintained, in order to aid the intelligent and beneficial structure of the water, used in brewing LOVE Kombucha.

LOVE Kombucha is a healthy and refreshing substitute for sodas, and a perfect hydrator in the heat of the Algarve. LOVE Kombucha is used as a functional probiotic food and hydration beverage. After fermentation, LOVE Kombucha becomes carbonated and contains B vitamins, enzymes, probiotics and various types of healthy acids. The probiotic bacteria in LOVE Kombucha produce cellulose which acts as a shield to cells, and aids in reducing signs of ageing. Due to the fermentation process involved in creating LOVE Kombucha, it contains a large number of probiotics which are a healthy bacteria that benefit the body’s overall health. These bacteria line one’s digestive tract, aiding in the absorption of nutrients and supporting our immune system by aiding the body’s ability to fight infectious disease and illnesses. The body’s immune system is located largely in the gut and digestive tract, which is why drinking Kombucha every day, can help maintain peak immune health, which further contributes to a great amount of benefits for our health in general.

Health benefits of LOVE Kombucha

1. Helps prevent a wide variety of diseases

While a lot of health claims for kombucha focus on the way it heals the gut (which, in itself, contributes to boosted immunity), there is also a fairly well-confirmed body of evidence that kombucha contains powerful antioxidants and can help to detoxify the body and protect against disease.

Related to this disease-fighting power is the way these antioxidants help to reduce inflammation at the root of most disease. This inflammation-reducing, detoxing quality is probably one reason kombucha might potentially decrease the risk for certain kinds of cancers.

One reason this happens is because antioxidants reduce oxidative stress that can damage cells, even down to DNA. Being exposed to a lot of processed foods and chemicals within your environment can lead to this stress, which in turn contributes to chronic inflammation.

Kombucha may specifically influence the activity of two important antioxidants known as glutathione peroxidase and catalase. It was also discovered to contain isorhamnetin, a metabolite of quercetin, in December 2016. Quercetin is associated with a long lifespan and massive anticancer properties.

Research from the University of Latvia in 2014 claims that drinking kombucha tea can be beneficial for many infections and diseases “due to four main properties: detoxification, anti-oxidation, energizing potencies and promotion of depressed immunity.”

2. Supports a healthy gut

Naturally, the antioxidant prowess of this ancient tea counteracts free radicals that create mayhem in the digestive system. However, the greatest reason kombucha supports digestion is because of its high levels of beneficial acid, probiotics, amino acids and enzymes.

Some research has shown kombucha’s ability to prevent and heal stomach ulcers.

Kombucha can also help heal candida from overpopulating within the gut by restoring balance to the digestive system, with live probiotic cultures that help the gut to repopulate with good bacteria while crowding out the candida yeast.

Although kombucha does contain bacteria, these are not harmful pathogen bacteria. Instead, they are the beneficial kind (called “apathogens”) that compete with “bad” pathogen bacteria in the gut and digestive tract.

Candida and other digestive problems can sometimes be complicated issues to fix, and symptoms might actually get worse before getting better. If you feel like kombucha is exacerbating the problem, consider that gut problems aren’t always a straight path to healing and at times some patience or trial and error is needed.

3. May help improve mental state

LOVE Kombucha doesn’t just help your digestion; it might be able to protect your mind, too. One way it can accomplish this is by the B vitamins it contains. B vitamins, particularly vitamin B12, are known to increase energy levels and contribute to overall mental wellbeing.

The gut-repairing function of kombucha also plays a role in mental health. Depression may be a major symptom of leaky gut, specifically due to the way that bad gut permeability contributes to inflammation.

A 2012 study published in Biopolymers and Cell examined kombucha as a functional food product for long-term space exploration (yes, you read that right).

Among other various features, kombucha’s ability to regulate the “communication of the gut-brain axis” suggested it would be useful in preventing or minimizing the effects of anxiety and depression, particularly for astronauts and others under extreme work conditions.

4. Beneficial for the lungs

A (probably) unexpected benefit of LOVE Kombucha is its use as a potential treatment method for silicosis, a lung disease caused by repeated exposure to silica particles.

Chinese scientists discovered that inhalation of kombucha could be a way to treat this and other diseases of the lungs caused by inhalation of dangerous material.

That being said, I would recommend you drink kombucha, rather than inhaling it.

5. Powerful antibacterial agent

This one seems a little counterintuitive, doesn’t it? But it’s true – because of the type of bacteria found in LOVE Kombucha, drinking the live cultures actually destroys bad bacteria responsible for infections.

In lab studies, Kombucha has been found to have antibacterial effects against staph, E. coli, Sh. sonnei, two strains of salmonella and Campylobacter jejuni.

6. Helpful in managing diabetes

Although some practitioners warn against Kombucha for diabetics, it seems that some research suggests just the opposite. This is assuming, of course, that you are consuming kombucha without a high sugar load.

Particularly due to the functions of antioxidants in LOVE Kombucha, it seems to help alleviate diabetes symptoms, and more efficiently than the anti-diabetic black tea from which it’s fermented. This appears to be especially true in terms of liver and kidney functions, which are generally poor for those with diabetes.

7. Good for the cardiovascular system

LOVE Kombucha has been considered to be beneficial to the heart for some time, although research efforts in this area have been scarce. However, it seems clear that, in animal models, Kombucha helps to lower triglyceride levels, as well as regulate cholesterol naturally.

8. Helps maintain a healthy liver

Since the liver helps to filter and convert harmful compounds, it’s a vital component in digestion and overall health. The antioxidants in LOVE Kombucha may protect the liver from oxidative stress and damage induced by acetaminophen overdose.
